CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF MUSIC |
"On this white sand, however far I roam, forever
will I find myself back home!"
Dana Falconberry's newest release, Though I Didn't
Call It Came, celebrates, explores, and at times laments the vast
landscapes in which they are set. Touching on themes of childhood curiosity,
mortality, and the aching beauty of solitude, the EP's songs interweave the
human experience with the world surrounding it. She guides her
listeners down moonlit paths and sandy shores until they are standing right
alongside her under the birches, wide-eyed and wondering at the eagles circling
overhead.
A Michigan native, Falconberry has thrived musically in
Austin, TX, hailed by the Austin Chronicle as one of the city's "most
promising singer-songwriters" and "most arresting female
vocalists." She has captivated audiences with her powerful live shows and
haunting recordings, receiving acclaim far beyond the reaches of her hometown.
The past few years have found her touring extensively through the US, Europe,
and Japan. In 2011, she starred in the critically-lauded music documentary on
the Austin music scene, Echotone, which was awarded a New York Times Critics'
Pick.
Recorded in an old church in Austin, TX, Though I
Didn't Call It Came is an energetic leap forward for Dana Falconberry.
It is a prelude to a full-length release recorded during the same session,
which will be released later in 2012. While her past records have emphasized
the sparse and delicate, these songs are lushly orchestrated with a full
six-piece band, a string quartet and harpist, rich four part harmonies, and a
host of unexpected accents from torn paper to prepared piano.
